The Governor has history and beauty and an old style charm. The food at Jakes (the downstairs restaurant)is good and the hotel is very clean and in the heart of town. The parking fee is a bit much (but that is typical of that area - the hotel 2 blocks down is about the same). The gym is well-stocked and easy to access. For fun, take the elevator behind the reservation counter at Jakes - it's cool.

The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

A lovely hotel, well appointed, with an incredible staff. Really, the staff was beyond compare...friendly, attentive and always helpful. The health club was also great, with the best equipment I have seen in a hotel.

The Governor Hotel is a great spot, very affordable, clean rooms and a perfect location. We loved our stay. Skip the smoke-filled bar/restaurant downstairs.

We loved the Governor's Hotel for the ambiance, staff, and location in old town. Everything we wanted to do was very close-shopping and eating. The food was great at Jake's Grill- great bar. Had breakfast there too.
Our room was nice, colors and furnishings, room service was right there, nice thick robes. If there was anything to pick on ...

These guys get it!
I was greeted by smiling valets, bellmen, a brilliant concierge and the hotel general manager before I could reach the beautiful new desk to check in.

The restaurant is fantastic and this is the only hotel I've stayed in with a full-blown Starbucks (be prepared to wait... it's busy!)

The rooms my colleagues and I ...
